Gal and Arry's Curry Cruise - The End


Well, as you know it has been one hell of a voyage!
Leaving our jobs, our families, friends and good old Blighty. Sampling the delights of proper authentic Indian food, attending Carolyn and Farhad's wonderful wedding day in Sri Lanka and drinking beer out of tea pots. Then racking up at Koh Samui and meeting El Coyote and all who sailed on her. Larking around on boats with Garry sweating his socks off and fixing diesel engines with his head stuck up his ass.
Cambodia, where we never planned on going, was magical. We stayed for three months driving through the Anka Wat temples on our motorbike every day to work and our picture in Motor Cycle News.
Who can forget the Tiger Temples and Garry with a huge tiger on the end of a lead?

Next was Australia and the Melbourne Formula 1, seeing Jenson and Hamilton winning the race, Pat climbing fearlessly up Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Then on to New Zealand and Garry in his element making pies and the fabulous journey in our beloved van, black water rafting, scaring mother sea lions and some of the best scenery in the world. Another photo in the Waitangi News. Who would have thought we would ever have been able to surf, but Indonesia was the place to learn.
Cyprus was a big learning curve, sea, sun, cycling, more sailing and driving through gorgeous mountain villages on Garry's sexy Ducati, but the work was not great! Plans were reviewed and we decided to put our rusty brains back into business. So we ended up in Uganda working on some really worthwhile projects.


All of this is in addition to the fantastic people we met along the way.
And there the curry cruise ended.

Thank you to all those people we have known and a particular thank you to everyone for their help and support to me in the last two months.
Knowing Garry, you will know that he would want us to carry on in his memory with the life and the inspiration that he gave to us all. So remember those lovely stories and his fabulous smile and he will stay with us all forever.

Our brother garry was truly an amazing funny generous kindhearted man, if you all his friends think you will miss him please spare a thought in your prayers and your day for his mother, her life will never move on it has been shattered by the loss of her irreplacable son.
Garry we love you and miss you more each day, beverley, pauline and mum xxx

Always Believe.

You have the ability to attain whatever you seek;
within you is every potential you can imagine.
Always aim higher than you believe you can reach.
So often, you'll discover that when your talents are set free
by your imagination, you can achieve any goal.
If people offer their help or wisdom as you go through life,
accept it gratefully.
You can learn much from those who have gone before you.
But never be afraid or hesitant to step off the accepted path
and head off in your own direction if your heart tells you
that it's the right way for you.
Always believe that you will ultimately succeed at whatever you do,
and never forget the value of persistence, discipline, and determination.
You are meant to be whatever you dream of becoming.

Garry, You were such an inspiration to so many and probably never realised it. You changed my life and outlook on life without realising it and for that I am eternally grateful.
